Hello, My Name is "Kinda Pregnant" O_o

Hi all =] I am very cautiously joining this board. I'm incredibly confused, and a little scared =X



Dh and I have been ttc for 21mos following ectopic loss. I got my first bfp on the 19th! I started spotting on the 22nd, and it's turned into consistent light bleeding. My dr had my hCG quants pulled, and they are low (450 on Fri, 90 on Sun), but doubling. She had an u/s done on me today, and they couldn't find ANYTHING. No sign of m/c, no sign of ectopic, no sign of pg AT ALL. Dr says that's fine, that I am just a lot earlier than we thought. She's giving me shots of progesterone, and I go to get my quants done again next Monday and Wednesday, with another u/s in 2wks.



My dr believes I am about 5 DAYS pg right now, and that is why they couldn't see anything on the u/s, and my lvls are low, but still doubling.


So, I'm kinda pregnant. We think.



I'm so confused, and frustrated. This is a new dr, because my old dr confirmed my pg last Monday, then confirmed m/c on Tuesday, then on Thursday, went back to believing I am actually pg. I ditched him, and got this new doc on Friday, lol. Really, tho, how hard is it for a dr to find out if there is another person growing in me? Or not growing in me?? They say my endometrium is getting thicker on one side...so where is this blood coming from? I don't even bleed for this many days when AF is around!




Mar18: LMP

That does help ease my mind some, Jennifer, thank you =] Sounds like a scary pg, but I would take it over no pg any day ;)

And thanks to everyone for welcoming me so nicely =] I feel kinda bad, I barely introduced myself, and just started b*ching, heh...I've been pretty irritable lately =/

So, a little more about me :)
I'm 27, and I have two kids from a previous marriage. They live with their dad, because the schools are MUCH better where he is, but I get them for all weekends, holidays, summer vacations, etc, and I go visit them at their dad's house during the week (ex & I are good friends...now ;)

I'm a bartender at the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars); it's a pretty chill job. Not like most bartending jobs, this one allows me to really get to know my customers, and I actually get to sit around a lot, lol...it's a private club, so we have a small group of regulars, and occasional events. It's very cool; I *LOVE* my job =]

My husband, Charles, and I got married last July, barefoot, next to a lake, in Oregon ^_^ We've lived together for several years, and we have been ttc for 2yrs. We had a mc, and then an ectopic pg, and I almost died because, well...I knew I was losing the baby, and I didn't much care to live through it.

My almost-3yr old nephew, Aidan, has been diagnosed with severe Autism, so I am soaking up all the info about it that I can. He's an awesome kid, and seems SO happy, but ...well, I've known he was Autistic long before my brother ever thought of testing him. Still, Aidan is in good hands, and has a lot of love and support. He's my Aida-bug<3

In my free time, I make things...anything! I paint, draw, sew, collage, knit, crochet, scrapbook, carve rubber stamps, make soap...and so on. I had my own business, making cloth diapers, for several years, but I am now in the process of starting up a stationary/greeting card company.

Gosh, I was worried that I didn't say enough about me at first...now I hope I haven't said TOO much, lol. I'm an Army wife, and as such, we move around a lot, so I don't have a lot of close friends or family around. It's pretty much just me and dh...and I'm sure you all know how crazy a dh can get when he has to hear about ttc/pg all day every day ;)
